Overview
- ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Jesse Rogers report the Cubs are likely to part ways as Tucker targets a contract north of $300 million.
- Projected deals span a decade or more in the $350–$400 million range, with some forecasts reaching 11 years and $375 million.
- Los Angeles is frequently cited as a suitor, though Passan reports the Dodgers are not inclined to offer a 10-plus-year pact.
- Philadelphia is repeatedly flagged as a strong fit, with several analysts tying the club’s approach to Kyle Schwarber’s free agency.
- Tucker posted a .266/.374/.464 line with 22 HR and 25 SB in 2025, as the Cubs revealed he played through a right-hand hairline fracture and later missed time with a left calf strain.
